Seeing Is Believing Unless a merchant is inti- mately connected with the production of the furniture that he offers, he is at a dis- advantage. Without first- hand knowledge of what is really under the surface all must be conjecture, for therein lies the secret of satisfaction. How deceiving are appear- ances is shown in the demon- strating display we are mak- ing of furniture similar in de- sign and outward appearance; but what a difference is dis- closed when a cross-section is viewed. In this display one chair, bought at retail, was adver- tised as a regular $39 value. The other, a chair of consist- ently comparable model, made in our own workshops, the regular price of which is but 50c more. It is well worth while to discriminate — especially in this season of special selling— for no matter what you buy, you want quality. There is a world of mean- ing in this slogan of ours: “Always High Grade; Never High Priced.” —and that is true under all circumstances — at regular prices as well as during the August Sale which is now in progress. ~Geopgian Group.... . oo.. $975 * A7 711 Twelfth St_reet iThe August Sale s a Decided Success Which means you can find very ripe opportunities to refurnish.
